Eric VanLandingham - Solo Artist

About Me

An accomplished, professional musician with multiple talents within many aspects of the musical profession. Eric has been involved with many musicians who can be considered icons to the world of music listeners. The first solo CD (2000) scored 3 "hits" on local and national radio and is still played and requested on many streaming web radio stations including Hairband Radio, Garageband.com and others. Approximately 10,000 copies of the CD have been distributed. The second coming CD will be a concept album set inside the mind of a man who's chemical brain disorders end up driving him insane. Hence the title "Meet My Demons"
